Welcome to ForeverCARE.

A weekly blog from ForeverCar about worrying less and experiencing more.

April is National Car Care Month, the perfect excuse to show your four-wheeled friend some much-needed TLC. ForeverCar makes it easy to show your car some love. Here are three simple ways to celebrate National Car Care Month and enjoy more miles with a smile.

Scheduled Maintenance

Ignoring scheduled maintenance items could mean the difference between a breakdown and smooth sailing for the road ahead. Gaining an understanding of what’s needed at certain milestones varies by manufacturer and model. Consult your owner’s manual or try this helpful tool to identify key maintenance milestones for your vehicle.

Protectionator Tip: Keeping up with steady oil changes and tune-ups will keep you up-to-date with scheduled maintenance requirements.

Know your Indicators

Cars are intelligent these days but when they are trying to tell you something, do you know what they mean? Knowing the difference between these messages could save you a lot of time, hassle and even money. It might even save your life. Here’s a quick breakdown of the different indicators your car is making you aware of:

• Check Engine: This usually indicates that a major component of your vehicle is not functioning properly.

• Service Engine: This indicates that you’re nearing a scheduled maintenance milestone.

• Brake Warning: This could mean your emergency brake is on. It could also mean your car is low on brake fuel.

• ABS Warning: If your ABS warning light is flashing, consult a mechanic immediately. This could pose a serious safety risk and should not be ignored.
